Folks, grab your popcorn because the wrestling ring just turned into a battleground for inclusivity and Tony Khan is leading the charge! This week, the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission (OSAC) decided to time travel back to the Dark Ages by waving a big red warning flag at All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Their crime? A groundbreaking match between Nyla Rose, a proud transgender wrestler, and Alejandra Lion, a cisgender wrestler. The audacity, right?
During a fiery AEW Dynasty media call, Tony Khan, AEW’s fearless leader, did not mince words. “I’m really, really shocked,” he exclaimed, clearly flabbergasted by the commission’s antediluvian stance. Tony’s message? Clear as crystal—AEW stands tall with Nyla Rose and will not tolerate discrimination, not now, not ever!
Khan, brimming with the spirit of a revolutionary, added, “They have rights, and to that end, I absolutely stand by Nyla Rose. This is wrestling. There is nothing wrong with it.” Hear that, OSAC? It’s the sound of progress, and it’s knocking loudly at your door!
Nyla isn’t just any wrestler; she’s a trailblazer, a former AEW Women’s World Champion who wrestled her way into the hearts of fans and colleagues alike. Tony Khan waxed lyrical about the love and respect Nyla commands backstage, hinting that maybe, just maybe, it’s time for the Oklahoma Commission to join the 21st century.
As AEW vows to keep the ring open for all, Tony Khan’s message is a body slam to outdated regulations. Will Oklahoma rise to the challenge, or will they tap out? Stay tuned as this saga unfolds, and remember, in the world of AEW, inclusivity is the real main event!
